"So much!"
Liu Conglong widened his eyes, looking at the settlent report. He had ntally prepared himself for a financial hit to ensure a windfall later.
However, after sending 250 million RMB overseas and converting it into US dollar assets, it only consud two million RMB.
Even dostically, using official channels for withdrawals would at least require five tis two million.
Liu Conglong looked worried; after all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. It’s always been this way since ancient tis.
He feared there might be lingering risks since Tianxing Finance earned so little.
It’s like when you ask soone for a favor, and they do it without accepting a gift, a normal person would suspect sothing’s amiss.
Lu Liang heard this and smiled without saying a word.
Li Junwei chuckled and explained, "Chairman Liu, rest assured, we’ve already taken the fees we’re entitled to."
Neither he nor Xu Jiawei, who coordinated far away in Tokyo, anticipated that rely purchasing 24.8 million US dollars worth of Bitcoin would have such great power, propelling Bitcoin past the 6000 US dollar mark and continuing to rise.
Afterwards, the two analyzed the situation and concluded that the Bitcoin market had been suppressed for too long.
The previous ascent was abruptly halted without warning. Back then, many were trapped at high levels, dreaming of Bitcoin’s rise.
In the past two years, the relentless promotion of cryptocurrency in Japan and Korea led to a surge in participants, all longing to return to that sumr.
It can be said that Bitcoin has long been ready for another voyage; it just needed a fuse to ignite the rally.
The 250 million RMB provided by Liu Conglong, equivalent to 36.23 million USD, left 24.8 million USD after deducting a 30% managent fee, precisely serving as the catalyst for this round of market rally.
Liu Conglong nodded understandingly, then cautiously asked, "Can I exchange these for US dollars?"
"Of course you can." Li Junwei nodded.
He continued, "In East Asia, banks like Xiangjiang Guangsheng, Zhong’an, Standard Chartered, and from Neon, Mitsui Sumitomo, Mizuho, Mitsubishi UFJ, as well as from Korea, National, Hyundai, Samsung, and 19 other banks support Bitcoin withdrawals."
"Additionally, 22 banks from Europe and Arica, including Morgan, Citibank, Wells Fargo, etc., also support Bitcoin withdrawals."
Li Junwei paused for a few seconds, "However, Chairman Liu, in my humble opinion, I suggest you hold on for the long term as the second wave of the bull market is about to arrive."
"No worries, I’m not greedy at all." Liu Conglong chuckled, dismissing the notion, and provided a Swiss Bank account.
He’d heard of Bitcoin, but didn’t deeply understand it. In his view, it didn’t compare to the comforting solidity of the greenbacks.
Li Junwei frowned, intending to persuade him once more. After all, this was no small sum, and if kept in their bank, it would form part of their assets.
But he was stopped by Lu Liang’s gesture. Lu Liang lightly laughed, saying, "Junwei, everything should align with the client’s wishes."
Li Junwei nodded, then turned to Liu Conglong and said, "Chairman Liu, please wait a mont."
He took out his notebook, inserted the security key, and after going through several verification procedures.
Before long, Liu Conglong’s phone rang. It was a private banking manager from Swiss Bank, calling about an incoming transfer of 35.942 million USD into his account.
"Got it." He was stunned, amazed as if he had never experienced sothing like this before. "This is truly the marvel of modern technology!"
"Fast cross-border transactions are indeed one of Bitcoin’s core technologies. It’s claid that within five seconds, funds can reach anywhere in the world without interference from any governnt or bank," said Li Junwei.
Liu Conglong couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s truly a remarkable thing. It’s a pity I’m old and can’t keep up with you youngsters’ mindset."
Lu Liang gestured for Li Junwei to leave, then smiled and said to Liu Conglong, "Chairman Liu, a pleasure doing business with you."
"Mr. Lu, a pleasure doing business!" Liu Conglong bead, shaking Lu Liang’s hand with both hands to express his gratitude.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he eagerly bid farewell to Lu Liang and returned inland, planning to make a big impact.
Channeling funds overseas was a last resort. If he could continue, he was reluctant to give up being the chairman of Greenland Group, a vice president of the Entrepreneur Association, a vice president of the Real Estate Industry Association, and an honorary principal of Modu University, among many other titles.
Because dostically, he could rally a hundred thousand responses to his call, hearing flattery until his ears developed calluses. But abroad, he was just another rich old man with so money, potentially facing discrimination from foreigners.
After seeing off Liu Conglong, Li Junwei returned to Lu Liang’s office and couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Lu, just like that, you’re letting Liu Conglong go?"
He knew Lu Liang’s plan was to cast a sprat to catch a whale, otherwise he wouldn’t have let Xingheng buy back Bitcoin held by Liu Conglong, ensuring his profits remained intact.
But now, the bait was gone, with no returns in sight, just like throwing a at bun to a dog without expecting it back.
"What’s the rush, let the bullets fly for a while."
Lu Liang smiled lightly, stood up and brushed nonexistent dust off his clothes, heading to the adjoining eting room to attend a video conference.
Sun Zheyuan was already waiting in the eting room, having completed the equipnt tests.
Lu Liang put on the headset and logged into the chat room, imdiately hearing Wilson’s complaining voice: "We’ve been waiting for you for an hour. Do you know what ti it is in New York right now?"
"Hahaha, Kamon, isn’t there a possibility that I was deliberately late to see if I could wear a few of you out?" Lu Liang chuckled, crossing his legs casually.
He looked at the screen, where all he saw were elderly white n; the youngest, Wilson, was forty-seven this year, while the oldest was Su Shimin, born in 1947, already seventy-two years old, with the earth nearly covering his neck.
It was two-thirty in the afternoon in Xiangjiang, and two-thirty in the morning in New York.
If he used the "wear-out-the-old-man tactic" every now and then, he might really manage to outlast a few of them.
"Enough with the nonsense, did you guys drive up this wave in Bitcoin’s market?" Su Shimin asked coldly.
They didn’t want to deal with Lu Liang, but they had no choice. Tianxing Finance had successfully established itself in the Bitcoin market and supported Hyundai Group’s OinsX, developing it into the largest cryptocurrency trading platform in the East Asian market.
Unless they were willing to abandon Bitcoin, they’d have to accept Lu Liang’s presence and even consult with him on Bitcoin-related decisions.
"Yes, we did drive it up."
Lu Liang smiled, attributing the coincidence to inevitability and pulling all the credit onto himself.
He added, "Bitcoin has been dormant for so long; it’s about ti for a second surge."
"Why not consult with us?" Su Shimin questioned angrily. Bitcoin may have a second or third surge, but definitely not now.
Lu Liang replied, "Don’t tell you’re unaware of East University Economy’s current situation, with the real estate market nearing a transition, the stock market underwhelming, and the governnt initiating a card-cutting campaign to curb capital outflow. It is precisely the right ti for cryptocurrency’s developnt!"
He squinted his eyes, his gaze seemingly penetrating the screen to see into everyone’s inner depths: "If now isn’t the right ti, then tell , when is?"
He knew when the optimal ti was, yet waiting for that ti would an facing internal and external troubles, akin to the bursting of the Yellow River, creating an uncontrollable flood.
To prevent all things from piling up and blasting the economy into pieces, both he and the higher-ups in the mainland were trying to find ways to release so pressure ahead of ti.
Facing Lu Liang’s questioning, all seven people in the eting room remained silent. Without the plans for the second half of the year, the current ti truly was optimal.
"At least consult with us, give us a bit of preparation," Wilson smiled apologetically, breaking the increasingly tense atmosphere.
In their view, he and Lu Liang were both unaware, so he had to speak up to ease the mood.
Lu Liang said, "Seize the mont, ti waits for no one. This ancient saying, Mr. Su Shimin should have learned it, right?"
Su Shimin snorted, taking a deep breath to calm himself, and said, "Tell us your thoughts."
"I have no thoughts; I just know that for Bitcoin to develop, it must seize this wave and expand rapidly."
Hearing Lu Liang’s cavalier tone, Su Shimin was furious: "Lu Liang, can we talk? Or do you believe that rely Tianxing Finance can sustain Bitcoin’s upward trend?"
Lu Liang’s lips curled in a disdainful smile: "Even if you want to disrupt the market, I welco it. After all, this isn’t your first ti pulling tricks behind the scenes. Go ahead, I’ll take it all."
With a ding, Su Shi exited the chat room.
Living for seventy years and galloping internationally for over forty years, it was the first ti he’d encountered such an arrogant newcor, ready to take them all on single-handedly.
Wilson smiled wryly, persuading kindly: "Lu Liang, let’s keep things separate. We’re sincerely trying to negotiate with you, can you not let off steam from other areas here?"
He understood Lu Liang’s dissatisfaction with Su Shimin. Even at this very mont, both their troops were hedging funds in the Offshore Renminbi Market.
As both sides injected more funds into the market, the forces behind long and short positions gradually erged.
Tianxing Finance was the institution defending the Renminbi, while Blackstone Fund had consistently sabotaged them, making Lu Liang’s resentnt towards Su Shimin understandable.
Lu Liang sighed: "Kamon, it’s comfortable talking to you, unlike those old geezers who truly believe they can cover the sky with one hand, thriving with or perishing against ?"
"Just say a few less words."
Wilson laughed in exasperation, re-inviting Su Shimin into the chat room, and urged: "Lu Liang, since you feel comfortable talking to , may I represent everyone in negotiations with you from now on?"
With his words, he was not only asking Lu Liang but also querying the Wall Street institution representatives, led by Su Shimin.
Su Shimin snorted, implicitly agreeing.
Though he had just exited, it didn’t an he was unaware of the conversation between the two.
With his implicit agreent, the others also nodded in approval, authorizing Wilson to proceed with negotiations with Lu Liang on their behalf.
